David:   Peggy asked for the 'fastest' way to get her 
'non-compliant' document into a foreign template.
She did not mention ever wanting to use her 
current template again or that there were other
documents that needed the same fix. Your solution
is a good learning exercise, though.

It *looks* efficient to cut 5 steps out of an 8-step process, but they take 
less than a minute to perform, and they're *really* important.

Without steps 2 through 6, the approved template won't be attached to the 
document, and you'll have to repeat steps 7 and 8 (the time-killers) every 
time the template is updated.
